Description
Lulu, originally named Lunlun, is a 15-year-old orphan raised by her paternal grandparents at their French flower shop. Her mother, descended from the Flower Star's plant spirits, died during childbirth, and her father passed away in her early childhood. On her birthday, emissaries from the Flower Star—a talking dog named Nouveau and a talking cat named Cateau—reveal her heritage and recruit her for a critical mission: locating the legendary Seven Color Flower, essential for the Flower Star's royal succession.
She wields a magical pin gifted by the Flower Star's king. Reflecting a flower in its mirror transforms her attire and grants situational abilities like mountain climbing or swordsmanship. Midway through her journey in Switzerland, the original pin breaks during a fall, causing a near-fatal drowning. A replacement pin, shaped like the royal crest, carries a grave limitation: its destruction or loss ends her life on Earth and bars her return to the Flower Star. Its activation phrase is "Fu Flay Lu Fey Lora."
Her quest traverses multiple European countries, aiding individuals facing personal struggles. A recurring ally is photographer Serge Flora, who distributes symbolic flower seeds to those Lulu helps. These seeds are sent to her grandparents' garden, where they cultivate the Seven Color Flower. Serge is later revealed as the Flower Star's prince. Though he proposes marriage and she reciprocates his feelings, Lulu declines the throne. Serge abdicates in favor of his younger brother to stay on Earth with her.
Lulu exhibits a tomboyish, outspoken personality, initially wearing boyish clothes. She shows deep compassion, especially toward children or those estranged from parents, but reacts strongly to dishonesty or parental disrespect. Her resilience withstands physical dangers, manipulation, and emotional betrayals. Her character evolves from an inexperienced helper to a determined protector, occasionally employing disguises like a sailor boy, knight, or prince to rescue others.
Antagonists pursue her: Togenishia, a selfish fairy, and her servant Yabouki. They attack directly—Yabouki nearly destroys an orphanage; Togenishia assaults with "Dark Wind"—but Lulu consistently thwarts their attempts to steal the flower.
In broader media, the theatrical short *Hello Cherry Country* features Lulu preserving Japanese cherry blossoms, emphasizing environmental themes. The 2009 English-dubbed movie compilations retain her core journey but alter story elements like the Flower Star's succession resolution. A Chinese-Japanese sequel project, initially announced as a remake, continues her legacy. Internationally, she is known as Angel (English), Lydie (French), Lili (Hungarian), Saosan (Arabic), and Zehavit (Hebrew), among other localized names.
